UC CCM Prep New Horizons: New Horizons Orchestra
1:00 PM - 1:45 PM

Join Cincinnati New Horizons Orchestra (NHO) for a fun, interactive demonstration of music-making! Now in its 3rd year adults, NHO is CCM Preparatory & Engagement's premier ensemble geared toward adult learners, most of whom are "seniors." Many of the members have never played a string instrument before joining. The members find music making is great for mental and social stimulation, physical fitness, releasing stress and stimulating creativity. Led by CCM faculty member Dr. Betty Anne Gottlieb, the orchestra will perform, talk about their experiences with music, and encourage audience members to try their instruments.

Madcap Puppets: Aesop's Classic Fables
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

In the bountiful array of children's literature, no author is better known and respected than the Greek storyteller, Aesop. Using animals as characters, he served up life lessons and morals in a tasty and digestible cupcake of a story. After more than 2,500 years, his insightful truths are still relevant and entertaining in the twenty-first century. In Madcap's production, Aesop recalls three of our best-loved stories re-told by a cast of puppets, and you! Stories include: The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Lion and the Mouse and The Hare and the Tortoise.
